I've a friend named Darwin, he has a good personality. We've been friends
since 2008. We've shared a lot of amusing moments and I learned many
things about him. We have several differences and some similarities. I'm
going to tell you 2 differences and 2 similarities.
Let's begin with our similarities. Darwin loves sports and outdoors activities
like I do. I remember when I moved to my new neighbourhood the first thing
that I did was to look for a sport court. I can recall the first game I was sitting
on the stairs I saw him trying to win every single game then I played with
them and I lost all my games, however since that day I began to play with
them every Sunday as a rule. The second similarity is that we both get along
with everybody. I can say Darwin is a peacekeeper. Take for example when
our friend Nilton was about to get into a fight. We made a mutual decision to
stand between them and took Nilton away. If we hadn't done that thing, they
would have gotten into a dangerous fight.
Now let me tell you about our differences. Darwin is a good example of a real risk taker. Take for example the time when we got into a camp without paying
anything. Darwin talked to the security man, he made up a story about our
missing credentials. After a few minutes we entered the camp, we spent great
moments there (or: we had a great time there). Never in my wildest dreams
would I have done that.. Our second difference is that Darwin is a risk taker
on land but in the sea I'm the risk taker. I reminisce about (or: I remember)
the first time we went to the beach together. Darwin came across as a
lifeguard, actually he has all the characteristics; He is physical fit and a good
leader, but when we got into the sea he stayed with us just for 10 minutes
then he came back to the shore. My others friends and I had fun while Darwin
was lying in the sand. I found that situation hard to believe, but that
happened.
Even though we've differences, we are close friends. I'm sure we are going to
have more fun together. I learned one thing about friendship "Walking in the
dark with a friend is better than walking alone in the light".
